VENTURE M\Y BE GIVEN A TRY-OUT HERE BEING CONSIDERED Local Folk? Thinking of Investing $5,000 in Birds and Begin ning Large Industry Would it pay to raise ostriches in Anderson county? Thal question is non being seriously conslilored by certain Anderson men and while they have made no definite announcement that Ute venture will be tried bore, it is understood that they are in touch with the people who raise ostriches and probably an order will be given in a Tew days for sevrai : fine specimens. The proprietors of n.well-known os trich farm have written a letter to lo-1 cal people iu which they answer thc question abouti South Carolina cli mate being suitable for thi industry. In the following manner: "There can be but little doubt about thc climate of South Carolina being favorable to the ostrich farming Industry. With thc proper care and a little intelli genoe there in money to be made out of the undertakiug." Additional information is also given by the breeders in their letter, which nays : An ostrich hcu lays from thirty, to seventy eggs per year. The birds ma-' lure at about two years when they produce not less than two pounds of feathers per un num. The plumage linds a ready sale on the New York market and to manufactureros every where. The value of South African ostrich feathers exported in 1013 $15,000.000. Value American product for I be same period-$200,000. The United States consumes 60 per cent (over one-half) of the world's largest product. Congress bas already made two appropriations to be used by the Department of Agriculture (Depart ment of Poultry investigations) to fur ther the industry in this country. There are sixteen ostrich farms in Arizona, several in California, some in Texas. Arkansas, New Mexico. Florida, and one as-far north as Pennsylvania. Many of our states can successfully farm ostriches. Poultry-men especially are well adapted to this line. South Africa is so much in fear of the United 3tav.es as a competitor that it has passed laws prohibiting the exportation of ostriches. Some ot the South American leading authorities on ostriches, give the Americans fifty years -to wake up to the fact that the United States can raise all the ostrich product used in this country while others who have visited the American ostrich farms say that we will be a ser rious factor on tba ostrich feather market within twenty years. vf AX* ARTICLE EXPLAINED Bankers Are In Doubt About Clause In Federal Law.
